Hi!
First off thank you for this amazing forum. I spent weeks hemming and hawing over an online mattress before I went through this forum and eventually went with a local retailer. I purchased a Parklane Mattress yesterday in the Northrup model. Now Iām looking at platform bed frame options.
I was told 4 inches between slats would be sufficient for my mattress. The Northrup has an offset coil core. Iām leaning toward the Best Price Mattress Heavy Duty steel slat metal frame in model e. I like it because the slats themselves are almost 4 inches thick, thereās a little over 3.5 inches between the slats, and thereās a horizontal support beam with extra legs and a vertical support beam without legs. Any thoughts on whether this should be sufficient? Iām paranoid about sagging and ruining my nice mattress but this seems the best metal platform frame option Iāve come across (for a reasonable price at least - I broke the bank with the mattress purchase).
Thanks!
Hi MonBon17,
Welcome to the Mattress Forum!
And congratulations on your new Parklane mattress! :cheer: As youāre aware, you chose something from a site member here using high quality and durable materials. Iām looking forward to learning about your new mattress once youāve had a chance to sleep upon it for a while.
The specifications of the product seem to exceed what Parklane recommends for your new mattress, and with the center reinforcement the slats should not flex in the middle. While Iām not personally familiar with this item, it āseemsā to be an improvement over something using a wire grid network on the top deck. If you do decide to purchase this item, Iād be interested in your feedback.

Thanks for the feedback! I went with it and so far so good! Iāve been sleeping on it about a week now and have noticed no creaking or noise. Itās very sturdy. It also seems to stay in place and my mattress isnāt sliding around. Itās just me in the bed so weāll see how long it takes to start creaking, if it does. So far Iām pretty pleased with this purchase! Iāll try to remember to update in the future.
Also my Parklane mattress is incredible.
Hi MonBon17,
Iāll look forward to your feedback on both your Parklane mattress and your Best Price bed frame in the future! Iām glad that things are working out well for you so far.
